RAK's

I don't know what I did to deserve these two beautiful cards, but I have to tell you that I was thrilled to receive them. I guess that is why they are called Random Acts of Kindness. It's about time that I posted them.Patty W and Laurie Unger sent these too me. Check out Lauries blog spot, she always has something creative to share! The first card is from Patty. I just love the colors and the cuttlebug background. The inside has a pocket and it held a lovely Chamomile tea bag...so thoughtful. The 2nd card is from Laurie. I love the Asian theme and the main panel looks like it was printed on mulberry paper. very clever! Thank you so much for thinking of me!I really have been in a funk lately, and my neck has been bothering me. I had neck fusion awhile ago and thought that all was well, but lately I've been dealing with some pain and it's not pretty.My oldest is home from college. It's so nice to have him back for the summer. It's nice to report that all siblings are getting along with each other! lolWe're getting ready for the Senior Prom over here. It's a very big deal. My daughters date is flying in from London to attend the prom. Her dress is almost as beautiful as she is. We are hosting the preprom and I have been busy coordinating the event. It should be wonderful. There is only going to be one bus of 50 kids being picked up, but that means that I will have 150 people in my yard! When we hosted the Senior Prom Pre Party for my older son we had 2 buses, and over 240 people here! Please pray for some great weather for us on May 22nd. I'd much rather have 150 people in my yard than in my house!I hope that you are all having a fabulous day!Happy Belated Mother's Day to you all!Smiles :)Lorraine
